ROWLAND H. WOLFE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

EGG BETER.

-' 'Application filed July 2s,

To aZZ who/n t may concern:

Be it known that I, RowLAND H. VVOLFE, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in EggBeaters, of which the following is a speciication.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in egg beaters, andhas for its object the provision of an egg beater whiclrwill be simpleand durable in` structure,`economic in manufacture andefficient in use.Another object is the provision of an egg beater which is sanitary andpermits of ready and thorough cleansing.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of partshereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,

Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional View of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on substantially line 2-2of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional View taken on sub-Y stantially line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

The approved form of construction comprises a receptacle 4. Thisreceptacle 4 consists preferably of an ordinary fruit jar. A screw cap 5is mounted upon the upper end of the receptacle 4 in the usual manner.Securely fastened on the under surface of the screw cap 5 is acup-shaped disk 6 having an inclined wall 7. the upper end of the wall 7being flanged, as at 8, to permit of the fastening of the same to thecap 5 by solder or other suitable means. In securing the cup-shaped diskto the ca 5, the connection between the under sur ace of the cap 5 andthe Hanged portion 8 must be close, and such as to exclude any liquidfrom entering therein. If this connection is not made close. particlesof cream or egg may collect therein. and thus the sanitary feature of myinvention would be destroyed. Projectingy through the cap 5 in thecenter thereof, and also through the disk 6, is a tubular member 9 whichis rigidly mounted relatively to the cap 5 and the cup-shaped disk 6.Rigidly mounted adjacent the lower end of the tubular member 9 is agear-wheel .10, the upper surface of the wheel 10 beingspecification/*0f Leners Patent.

placed in close engagement with the lower surface of the disk 6.Projecting through the tubular member 9 is a shaft 11, the up- Yper endof which is tapered, as at 12, the

extreme upper end of the same being threaded and adapted to seat in acap 13. The shaft 11 is squared at 14, whereon is rigidly mounted abevel-gear 15, the lower hub of the gear 15 resting in a slot 17 pro-`.jided in ythe tubular member 9. Meshing with the gear-wheel 15 is abevel-gear 18 rigidly mounted upon a shaft 19. This shaft is mounted inbearings upon a suitable frame 20, which is mounted upon the uppersurface-of the cap 5. One end, 21, of the frame projects inwardly andforms a guide for the upper end of the shaft. An additional guide member22 is rigidly mounted upon the frame, as shown in Fig. 1. Connected withthe shaft 19 is a suitable crank .23 for the purpose ofv rotating thegearwheel 18.l The vshaft 11 is also squared at 24, at which point thereis mounted upon the shaft 11 an arm bearing member 25, radiating outfrom which are arms 26. Positioned in the arms 26, adjacent the outerend thereof, are suitable bushings 27, in which is rotatably mounted ashaft 28, to the upper end of which is secured a gearwheel 29.y which isadapted to mesh with the gear-wheel 10. The lower end of the shaft 11 isalso squared, as at 24', whereon are secured suitable radiating arms 26which bear at their extreme outer Vends suitable luishings 27. adaptedto receive the lower end of the shaft 28. Positioned upon the shaft 28.intermediate the radiating arms 26 and 26. are suitable paddles 30, saidpaddles being provided at intervals with lips the lips 31 being adaptedto engage the shaft 28'on one side. while the main4 bodv portion of thepaddles engages the shaft on the opposite side. A. suitable groove isprovided in the paddles 30. in which the shaft 28 is adapted to lie. asclearly shown in Fig. Suitable fastening means 31 project through themembers 31 and rigidly mount the paddle 30 upon the shaft 28.

My invention is designed primarily for use as a cream whipper, eggbeater or churn` and may be used for various other similar purposes. Inoperation, the material to be agitated is placed in the receptacle 4.whereupon the screw cap 5 is tightly fastened thereon. Upon the turningof the crank 23 through the operation of the gear wheels 18 and l5, theshaft l1 is caused to rotate, carrying` with it the radiating arms. Thegearwheels 29 meshing with the stationary gearwheel 10, are caused torotate, thereby r0- tating the paddle members 30. In the structure whichI have provided, it is unnecessary to ever remove the disk 6 from thescrew cap 5, owing to the fact that none of the material which is usedin thc receptacle 4; can enter therein.. In this structure, all of theparts which come into contact with the material contained in thereceptacle, are so positioned as to afford easy access thereto, thusassuring complete and thorough cleansing of the same. IVhile I haveillustrated and described the preferred form of construction forcarrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation andmodification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I,therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of theconstruction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variationsand modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

l.V In an egg beater, the combination of a central depending shaft;means for rotating said shaft; radially extending arms rigidly mountedon said shaft adjacent its upper end; radially extend-ing arms rigidlymounted on said shaft adjacent its lower end; vertically extendingshafts journalled adjacent the outer ends of said arms; paddlescarriedby each of said vertically extending shafts; and lips integrallyformed on said paddles for the reception of said vertically extendingshafts rigidly secured thereto, substantially as described.
